Self Aligning Plastic Wall Tile System
A system of self-aligning tiles has been devised with novel geometries of connectors and notches in the edges of these tiles to provide for assembly in all directions, both on vertical and horizontal surfaces. These connector mates define regular, parallel, gaps between adjacent tiles in which waterproof grout may be applied to protect the supporting wall. Decorative edge and corner tiles are supplied to enable flush edges; otherwise, gaps of width less than the width of the standard self-aligning tile are filled with partial tiles that are easily sawn with conventional saws to the required size from standard tiles. The tiles are manufactured using injection of thermoplastics into molds, and as such can bear patterns in relief on their cosmetic face. Secondary coatings can be applied to enhance the appearance and hardness of the cosmetic face. Repair of the tile wall after installation is enabled by the unique geometry of the tile connection couplings, allowing individual tiles to be removed and replaced without damaging the adjacent tile
